Complement |

Project history: This class was planned to complement the Ticonderoga class, and to replace the ageing missile destroyers. Compared to a Ticonderoga class they have three illuminators and the entire SPY-1 radar is concentrated in a single deckhouse. Their CIC lacks the unit commander's station of the cruiser. They are also better protected than the cruisers, with steel rather than aluminium upper works, and they carry about 130t of Kevlar armour. Their sides are sloped to reduce their radar cross-section. In 1984 it was hoped that each (after the fifth production ship) would cost about two-thirds as much as a Ticonderoga, but would offer three-quarters her anti-aircraft potential.
They lack a helicopter hangar because when they were designed it seemed unlikely that there would ever be enough LAMPS III helicopters to provide one per escort, and also because the ships they replaced had no helicopter facilities at all. They can accept a helicopter on board, and they have LAMPS data link and data processing facilities.
By the late 1980s, the navy planned to build these ships at a steady rate of four or five per year, introducing changes only after several identical ships had been built. At that time a Flight 3 version, which would have had a hangar, was planned. The advantage of steady production would have been steady fleet modernization, as in the submarine fleet.
When funds tightened dramatically, Flight 3 was abandoned in favour of studies of less expensive versions called DDV (DD variant), for example without the SPY-1 radar. Really Flight II (DDG72-78) is a slightly modified version of the original Flight I. Flight IIA (DDG79 and beyond) has been modified to provide a pair of LAMPS III hangars aft, with the helicopter deck beyond. These ships also have a stern wedge, for improved propulsive efficiency. In this version the underway replenishment crane is eliminated from the vertical launcher groups, so that the bow group has sixty-four rather than sixty-one cells, the after group thirty-two rather than twenty-nine, for a total of ninety-six rather than ninety missiles. This version was lengthened by 1.52m by the stern, but the original plan to add a substantial parallel midbody was dropped.
